That is exactly what needs to happen if you really want to cut CO2
levels.

CO2 tracks population growth as closely as any other metric.
If you want to get back to 1940 CO2 levels, you need to scrub about 5
billion people off the population.
I imagine the upcoming thermonuclear war will do it.


An alternative would be to encourage people to stop exhaling.
